Hi to everyone
I cannot sleep and have to stop myself from walking out my front door into the night. I just want to go for a long walk but I know 2.30am is not a safe time for me to do that.
Is there anyone out there now that I can talk to? Bipolar mania keeping me awake and buzzy.

Yay! @Zoe7 it does suck doesn't it! I am so glad I am not alone. I have this huge complusion to go down the road and buy some donuts from the service station!
I wish you were here and we could go together. Where I live is not very safe to walk alone at night.
